wezterm Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• what terminal emulator would you recommend?

  Wezterm is pretty good, I've been using it for a long time without any issues. The feature set is honestly huge and I'm probably using 10% of the capabilities, but I like having a lot of options. Source: 5 months ago

• Terminal emulators that break from the traditional rendering approach?

  And my own humble entry in this space is wezterm: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm which has a decent population of users in Japan and a handful of arabic/RTL users for the unfinished bidi support. Source: 11 months ago

• Switching from Emacs. My experience

  Either Wezterm OR Window-terminal I Personally use WindowTERM with alacritty * when needed Since WindowTerm has some weird ncurses issues ,. Source: 11 months ago

• Terminal app built over WebGPU, WebAssembly and Rust

  AFAIK wezterm[1] and warp[2] are built on top of the WebGPU [1] https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ [2] https://www.warp.dev. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• 📽️ Warp: The AI-Powered Rust-based Terminal

  WezTerm is another terminal you could consider, but it is very different than Warp. It is also built using rust. The config is in lua (like Neovim). It has built-in font fallback and font ligatures. It also has a built-in multiplexer, but I've not tried it yet. It does not have any of the block or AI features that Warp does.

• Updated wezterm <-> navigator.nvim support

  I use Wezterm as my editor and the built-in functionality for pane splitting (which means I don't run tmux as I used to do). Source: 12 months ago

• My ultimate shell setup with Fish shell and Tmux

  I personnally use Wez's Terminal (Wezterm: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/) because it is both a capable terminal and a capable multiplexer and I like to have one less layer to care about. One thing I personally like very much is that it supports a command line tab and pane navigation/management : - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• What's your favorite terminal emulator?

  WezTerm https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ is by far & away the best terminal on all platforms. Staring at the screen all day never looked better 😅. Source: about 1 year ago

• TMUX for WINDOW ? *Native*

  I've seen wezterm mentioned before. Source: about 1 year ago

• Minimal Neovim Configuration

  I'm a big fan of the KISS principle, So I created a neovim configuration using only one Lua file. The terminal is Wezterm. Both VIM and lua code are included and well commented. I'm sharing it on this subreddit because I think it will help neovim newbies. Source: about 1 year ago

• Why does the website for wezterm crash brave on iOS?

  I’m trying to go to https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ but for some reason brave keeps crashing is this a problem with brave or is it with my phone? Source: about 1 year ago

• Which terminal/emulator are you using on Win10 for nvim?

  I don't use Windows often, but when I do, I use https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there a terminal emulator that has non standard key codes? so that Tab is different than Ctrl+i and other clashing codes.

  Check out wezterm. There's also kitty, which is a bit older and more mature -- but also cruftier and more complicated, and run by one guy who is kinda polarizing. Source: over 1 year ago

• Why Sixel?

  Amongst newer 21st century OSS terminal emulators, there has been some work at revisiting better ways to encode raster graphics over telnet. In particular, you might want to look at George Nachman's iTerm2 and Kovid Goyal's Kitty, both of which support Sixel and their own newly-designed custom protocols for raster graphics, among other newfangled terminal features. Wezterm, another recent OSS terminal emulator,... Source: over 1 year ago

• Sweet Shell: With Oh-My-Zsh, SpaceVim, Starship, True Color, and Demo Mode

  Since author is showcasing cross-os setups, please mention WezTerm, WezTerm, WezTerm!!! The cross-os saviour terminal emulator with multiplexing and is 0.01 sec startup on windows as compared to seconds for Windows Terminal. Check it out !!! https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Is it still possible to live in a terminal?

  There also seems to a renaissance of new terminal applications—slick, GPU-accelerated, built in multiplexing, native support for Open Type features, full color support, etc. I’ve settled on WezTerm [1] for now but Alacrity and Kitty are also impressive.

• Why is Kitty so popular?

  I actually use wezterm mostly, but I have used kitty a lot, and would definitely prefer kitty over alacritty. Source: over 1 year ago

• I'm using zshell, how do I get ctrl+a to select all text in the terminal?

  Either way, some more advanced terminals might be able to do what you want. E.g., I use wezterm, which is configurable in lua. You can define keybindings to do most everything you want. For example, including:. Source: over 1 year ago

• Weird Terminal Color Problem -- LXTerminal, urxvt, .Xresources, and VIM are not playing well together

  The solution of course is to use a better terminal emulator. Personally I use wezterm, which ships with 700 color themes to choose from, including gruvbox. Kitty is good too, and also comes with a lot of themes. If you need something light weight, maybe alacritty? Source: over 1 year ago

• Neovim 0.8 Released

  The new generation of terminals are nothing like what you’re describing: GPU acceleration, full color support, font shaping, support for ligatures, built-in support for multiplexing, SSH and more. WezTerm [1] is probably the best example right now but there are others. These aren’t your father’s terminals. [1]: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
